With its sweeping roads and picturesque landscapes, South Carolina may seem like the perfect place for a leisurely drive. However, beneath the idyllic surface lies a troubling reality – the state is one of the deadliest in the nation for car accidents. For the past 25 years, its mileage death rate has consistently surpassed the national average, making it a treacherous place for drivers and passengers alike.
Driver Stats in South Carolina
According to recent data from the South Carolina Department of Public Safety, a traffic accident occurs every 3.7 minutes in the Palmetto State. In just under 10 hours, a fatal collision claims another life on South Carolina roads. The statistics only become more alarming when examining specific demographics and scenarios.
- Every 28 hours, someone loses their life in a drunk-driving wreck
- Teen drivers are involved in fatal or severe crashes every 1.3 hours
- Drivers without a seat belt die every 27.5 hours
- 1 pedestrian dies every 2.3 days
- Motorcyclists losing their life every 3.1 days
The most common contributing factor in these fatal collisions? Driver negligence.
Whether it’s distracted driving, driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or simply ignoring signs and signals, it’s clear that many lives could be saved if drivers took more responsibility behind the wheel.
When an innocent person becomes a victim of such negligence and loses their life, certain family members can seek justice through a wrongful death claim. This process involves filing a claim with the deceased person’s estate through a personal representative – usually a spouse or someone else appointed as executor.

Let us help you seek the justice and compensation your family deserves.
Red Bank Information
Red Bank, SC, Red Bank, located on SC Hwy 6 south of Lexington, first gained notoriety as a health resort. The property where the Red Bank Mill stood was owned by Dr. Frederick William Green prior to the Civil War. Green built a “mosquito cottage” on the property which he used to escape the malarial condition that plagued Columbia during the summer.
The Green family continued to live in Red Bank after the Civil War. In 1869 Green built a textile mill on the banks of Red Bank Creek, the first in Lexington County. The original wooden structure burned down in the early 1890s, but a new stone building was erected in 1895. In the early 1900s a brick addition was constructed.
Historians are not sure whether the town was named in honor of Robert Hilton of Red Bank, New Jersey, who was hired as an assistant supertendent of the mill in the 1890s, or whether it was a reference to the red clay creek bank that ran along side of the mill. After coming to work at the mill, Hilton married Irene Klapman and named the new community in honor of her. Many local residents, however, preferred the name Red Bank.
